Sufficient downforce is crucial as current Funny Cars are developing as much as 10,000 horsepower from their supercharged V-8s. This sees them accelerate from 0-330 mph in less than 4.0 seconds and in a mere 1,000 feet.

Improvements made over the previous fifth-gen Camaro-based Funny Car include an integrated front splitter that helps direct more air over the body to increase downforce. The design also incorporates dual blow-out panels, commonly referred to as burst panels. These relieve underbody pressure to help keep the body on the chassis in the event of an engine failure.

And just like its road car cousin, the latest Camaro Funny Car is lighter than its predecessor.
